Not sure if this is considered a technical opinion but I believe Desktop Support&#x2F;Help Desk positions shouldn&#x27;t exist.<p>Computers are basically tools to help you do your job. Computers are ubiquitous enough now that I believe everyone should be ok using them. Hiring people to use your tool for you is wasteful for the company.<p>If you&#x27;re having a house built and your carpenter doesn&#x27;t know how to use his hammer, you don&#x27;t hire a hammer support person, you get someone that knows how to use the tools of their job. I believe this same thing applies to knowing how to use your computer.
